Econometrics Conference Will Honor Eric Ghysels

The Center for Interuniversity Research in Quantitative Economics, known by its French acronym CIREQ, will host an econometrics conference in May honoring UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School’s Eric Ghysels.

Ghysels is a UNC Kenan-Flagler finance professor, the Edward M. Bernstein Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and faculty research director of Rethinc. Labs, an initiative of the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise.

The conference, organized in collaboration with the Chair in Macroeconomics and Forecasting at the University of Quebec in Montreal’s School of Management, will take place May 10-11 at Hôtel de l’ITHQ in Montreal.

The conference program features 33 papers, including 12 co-authored by Ghysels’ former students. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with many talented students throughout my career and it is with great pride that I have witnessed them forging their own research path,” Ghysels said. “The conference will be a great occasion to regroup and reflect on their achievements.”
